In 1810 the City of Wells jail was closed and later became the City Arms. The main bar retains the small barred windows and low-vaulted ceilings of its former existence. The building encloses a courtyard on three sides, with outdoor seating. Tucked away, opposite the main bar, is a large seating area overlooking the street. There is extensive food service in the bar, bistro and restaurant, made to order using fresh local produce.
